Interested in STEM fields? Find out how science, technology, engineering and environment, medicine and quantification have shaped the world we live in today!
The new STEM in Society minor/certificate bridges humanities and the sciences to
- examine how and why science, technology and engineering, environment, medicine and quantification have changed from the ancient world to the present day
- consider how this past matters to the present and future, from both American and global perspectives
- reveal what is often hidden in 21st-century understandings of STEM: behind scientific discovery, technical innovation, and medical advancement is a complex history of successes, failures, controversies, and unintended ecological consequences
The STEM in Society minor is especially well suited for undergraduates in SAS, Engineering, SEBS, Biomedical and Health Sciences, the Bloustein School, and SCI.
Requirements: 6 courses for the minor and 5 courses for the certificate. No prior History coursework is necessary.
